Alliance Furnace, Historic blast furnace in Perry Township, Pennsylvania.
The Alliance Furnace stands as a stone structure measuring twenty-five feet square and fifteen feet high, with an adjacent charcoal house on four acres.
Built in 1789, the Alliance Furnace operated as an iron production facility from 1792 to 1802, marking the early industrial development of Western Pennsylvania.
The furnace represents a significant period in American manufacturing history, demonstrating the evolution of iron production methods during the late 18th century.
Visitors can access the furnace ruins located northeast of Perryopolis off Township 568 at Jacobs Creek, where original structural elements remain visible.
The site earned recognition from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in 1946 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
